How we handle shower tray repair in Brampton
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Brampton
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Brampton
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What affects the price in Brampton
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Brampton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brampton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Brampton
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brampton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
